Mist a large oven-safe skillet with olive oil and set aside. Preheat your oven's broiler.

In a medium bowl whisk together egg and egg whites. Add milk and 2 oz cheese and spices. Whisk until combined.

Combine quinoa and broccoli in the prepared skillet. Pour egg mixture over quinoa and broccoli and combine all ingredients, pressing them down into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 2 oz of cheese over the frittata.

Cook the frittata mixture in the skillet on the stovetop at medium-high heat until the edges begin to brown. Place the skillet under the broiler until the middle sets up and begins to brown.

Hi Maria! I just found your blog and am loving your healthy and creative recipes.

I was creating publications for my company recently and looked up a great article on copyright's of recipes. Essentially, you can't copyright a recipe. If you choose to use a recipe and credit were you got it from, you get bonus points for being polite. I'll see if I can find it for you.

In that case, I would love it if you would post the recipe as I don't have a subscription to Oxygen magazine. I read your blog every day and really love the tips and recipes. Hoping to see this one soon. Thanks.

I just made the Oxygen magazine version of this recipe. It was my first time cooking quinoa. The frittata is cooling on the stove now, so I'm not sure how it tastes, but it looks good. (not as pretty as yours!) Question: the 1 cup of quinoa- that's one cup UNcooked, right? When I cooked the quinoa and put it in the skillet, it just seemed like SO much. And the amount of egg vs quinoa seemed kinda off. Thanks if you can answer my question! :)Amanda
